Chapter 46 Ancestors

"Are you kidding me, my dear evil god?""What do you think?""I think even as an evil god, you wouldn't do something like making a cat eat oil-splashed noodles with garlic."Karen reached out and touched Puer's head, and Puer rolled his eyes at him."It looks pretty good, much better than I expected."Why does society always emphasize inner beauty? Because fundamentally, this is a society that judges by appearance."I was even better looking than her back then." Puer stubbornly emphasized."Do you have a photo?""Cameras hadn't been invented back then, but I should have some wall paintings."

"Where is it?""I think, there should be a preserved underground dungeon in the Allen Castle.""Allen?""That is my family name.""Cat demon family? Oh no, demon family?""If I use demon family to describe the Inmoleis family, would you be happy?""I have no prejudice against demons," Karen said."You can understand it as a larger, more populous, and longer-lasting family than the Inmoleis family.To show my respect for you, I didn't use the word 'ants' to compare the Inmoleis family and my family.""Very good." Karen nodded, "So, is it extinct now?"

"Why do you feel this way?""Because people often like to use ants to contrast their great family, but most of them have disappeared in the long river of history.""Damn it, I'm starting to suspect that Dias buried a dead grandson when he went to Bellwin last time, and then brought back another twin grandson who was wandering outside.You know,Sometimes when you talk to me, your tone is exactly the same as the young Dias.On the other hand, I don't like the previous 'Karen'.I don't like Rent either.I always feel like I can't serve a banquet at the dinner table.""Okay.""So, sometimes I can understand why Dias likes you so much. You know, there is actually a kind of inheritance in this world that is even more valued and closer than bloodline inheritance."

"I can understand.""Can you really understand?""Mm."Karen knew that Pu'er meant to pass on the mantle."But the problem now is that Dias doesn't seem to have any intention of letting me join the sect. He's more focused on finding me a wife and having children.""I can understand the old man's desire for the family to grow, but I still think it's too soon."Pu'er tilted his head in confusion and asked, "You only need to be comfortable, why do you have to suffer?""Even after the child is born, you can leave it to Dias or Mary to take care of. Mary will definitely complain, 'Oh my, another child to raise!'"

But trust me, she will definitely take good care of you.Dis's choice of daughter-in-law has always been good.""What about Auntie?""Well, Winnie may seem quiet now, but she was quite rebellious when she was young. She successfully broke free from Dis's 'restraints' and 'claws' and ran towards the happiness she wanted;Then, her marriage fell apart and she got divorced.""It's a sad story."It's hard to imagine that the aunt who now manages the household and speaks and acts calmly, also had a brave side that broke the feudal patriarchal system to pursue happiness.Karen washed her hands and wiped them with a towel.Puer continued to follow him and said, "I think the girl downstairs is very nice.""I don't think anyone is doubting that."

"No no no, what I'm talking about is temperament, her temperament, it makes me feel comfortable.""She hasn't even entered the house yet, and you can already sense her temperament? Is it a cat's exclusive intuition?""This is the sharp gaze of an elder, do you understand?""Okay, okay." Karen started to go downstairs.Puer followed along the handrail of the stairs:"A lady with such good temperament is suitable for bearing children."Upon hearing this, Karen opened her arms and said:"What I've heard is that those with big butts are more suitable.""That's shallow! Only those with good health can give birth to healthy babies!""Only?"

"Yes, what does it mean to have a purely healthy baby? If you're going to have a baby, it should be one with a constitution that is more suitable for purification, and more easily able to receive the power of faith. That's what a good baby is." "Your way of thinking..." "So, it's not a problem. I think you can take her and have her give birth to your child! It's a shame to not pass on the bloodline of Inmorales, Dis, and you." Karen stopped and looked at Puer, asking, "You're not married, right?" "I'm just a cat now, how can I get married?" "What I mean is, when you were still a human, you weren't married, right?" "Um..." "You haven't been in a relationship or liked someone of the opposite s*x, right?"

"Um...shut up!""I knew you didn't.""Do you know how many people wanted to pursue me back then? I was a legend, the dream lover of countless young and handsome men.""But you still haven't been in a relationship.""I...""So in your eyes, when a man and a woman are together, it's just for the purpose of having children?""Isn't that how it should be? Is it supposed to be for love and romance?""Fine, I can't reason with you."Karen thought that maybe Puer had been a cat for too long, so in its mind, "love" had become synonymous with "mating";And with cats and dogs needing to choose breeds when breeding, it silently absorbed the subjective influence.

"I'm doing this for your own good, trust me, Karen. The aura on that lady is truly different.""You mean she's a demon?""She's not a demon, I can guarantee that. But her appearance makes me feel comfortable and pleasing. People like her must have a high level of spirituality."Puer jumped onto Karen's shoulder and patted her face with its paws."She can give birth to excellent offspring for you, the offspring of evil gods!!!"Karen reached out and pulled the excited black cat off her shoulder and threw it aside."You're even more like an old grandma who only likes to stare at girls' butts."Puer, who landed on the stairs, shouted:"In terms of age, I'm much older than her grandma.""Have you ever given birth to a child yourself?" Karen asked.

"No.""So, is your family extinct because you didn't give birth to outstanding descendants?""My family doesn't lack one more descendant, damn it! My family has many people, you should worry about Inmoleis!"Karen waved her hand, too lazy to deal with this cat.Walking out of the living room and into the yard, the lady in the black dress had already opened the gate and entered. When she saw Karen, she apologized:"I'm sorry, I thought no one was home, so I opened the gate and came in to take a look.""I should be the one apologizing for not coming out to greet you in time. You must be Miss Eunice, Mina's teacher?""Yes, I am Mina's math teacher. Are you Mina's brother?""Yes, you can call me Karen.""Okay, Karen."

"Please come in.""Thank you.""Mina never told me that her math teacher was so beautiful.""Mina also never told me that she has such a handsome brother.""Please have a seat.""Okay, thank you.""Coffee or tea?""Ice water, is that okay?""Sure, just a moment."Karen went upstairs to get ice from the kitchen fridge. As she was climbing the stairs, Pu'er, who was still leaning on the railing, spoke again:

"Ice water, two glasses of ice water, hmm."Pu'er knew that Karen didn't like to drink tea or coffee, she only liked to drink ice water.Karen ignored the cat and went up to pour two glasses of ice water and came back down.Miss Eunice was standing in front of a wall painting, admiring it. When she heard Karen's footsteps coming down the stairs, she turned around and smiled, "I love the atmosphere of the decoration here."Pu'er, who was on the stairs, heard this and muttered under her breath, "You should also like the basement."Karen handed her a glass of ice water and said, "Religious elements have a calming effect on people's hearts.""Yes, that's right. I think that's the most attractive thing about religion. It can build a house for our spiritual world, a house that belongs only to us.""You described it so accurately. No wonder you're a top psychology student at Luo Jia University."

"Um? Luo Jia, a top psychology student at university? Karen suddenly understood, When her aunt recommended a blind date for her, she must have lied about her education. Most likely, she also lied about her age. Although it's not a problem to say that I'm a top psychology student, and my inner age is not low, but... "Maybe there's some misunderstanding. I'm interested in psychology, but I haven't been to university. Last year, due to some psychological problems, I dropped out of high school. Also, what did they tell you about my age?" "Nineteen." "I'm sixteen."

"Not yet" were the two words that Karen still held back, because he felt that he was already honest enough."Really can't tell at all, the feeling you give me is very calm, like you are older than me, oh no, sorry, I'm not saying you look old, in fact, now I can feel that you are still very young.""I have never liked using the length of one's life to measure their age, I prefer to use the depth of one's life to represent their true age.""Yes, that makes sense.""Are you from Vien?""Yes, I am from Vien, I grew up in Vien, but my mother is from Rulan.""Why did you become a teacher in Lojia City?""Because my grandmother passed away, my mother was very sad, so she wanted to stay in her hometown for a while. I had just graduated from college, so I found a job as a teacher in Lojia City.""I'm sorry.""No, it's okay. I have never met my grandmother, including when she passed away. When my mother and I rushed back after receiving the news, she had already been buried." Eunice looked around and pointed to the embalming table in the living room. "My grandmother's coffin must have been placed there."

Her grandmother's funeral was held at the Inverleith House.Karen said, "She was a very kind old lady."Although she didn't remember her."Have you had lunch yet? Would you like to join me for lunch?""Is it not too much trouble?""No, not at all."Karen led Eunice up to the second floor.Puer was still lying on the armrest,Eunice went forward and took Puer in her arms:"What a cute cat, her fur is so smooth."

Karen was a little surprised that Puer seemed to not resist lying in Unis's arms.Puer seemed to notice Karen's gaze,and used its cat paws to step on Unis's chest,then gave Karen a look.Karen felt like this cat was crazy today.Luckily she knew it was a female cat, otherwise she might have thrown it out."You sit first, it will be ready soon.""Do you need my help?""Later, I just need you to help taste it.""Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Younis placed the Pu'er tea on the dining table and subconsciously propped her cheek with her hand, looking at Karen standing in the kitchen.Pu'er also crawled next to Younis's face, first looking at Karen, then at Younis;In her heart, she thought:"See, you've fallen for it. As long as you're good-looking, dropping out of high school and being younger than yourself are not problems.Sigh,Shallow humans."Karen brought out a pot of sour fish and placed it on the dining table."What dish is this? I've never seen it before, hmm, it smells so good." Younis asked."Sour fish, appetizing and good with rice.""I really want to try it right away."

"No, this is not for us to eat, it's for it." Karen pointed to the pu'er tea on the dining table.Upon hearing this, the pu'er tea's eyes immediately lit up.Karen took out a triangular scarf and tied it around the pu'er tea, then pushed the bowl of sour fish in front of it, reminding, "Be careful, it's hot."The pu'er tea looked at Karen, then at Eunice, thinking, "What are you waiting for? Giving birth to the child of the evil god is your honor!"Karen brought out two bowls of noodles from the kitchen, with chili and other seasonings on top."Do we need to mix it?" Eunice asked curiously."No, wait a moment."Karen scooped out a spoonful of hot oil from the kitchen and poured it into Eunice's bowl of noodles, then into her own bowl.

"Zi zi zi zi zi……"For those who love eating noodles, this sound is the true sound of the world."Let me help you stir."Karen used chopsticks to help Eunice stir."What kind of utensil is this?""These are chopsticks, I'm used to eating with them.""It looks novel and convenient, and it's also delicate."Originally, Karen made bamboo chopsticks and carved them herself, but Alfred later made ten pairs of silver chopsticks for himself in the same style."Do you want to try?""I do."

"Here you go."Younis picked up her chopsticks, and to Karen's surprise, although she could tell she was not very skilled, she successfully delivered the noodles into her mouth."It's delicious, I love the flavor and texture. Your aunt told me that you enjoy cooking.""Yes, I believe a happy life is incomplete without good food.""I also enjoy trying different cuisines from around the world. There are many international restaurants in Vienna that I like to visit.""Trust me, those restaurants probably don't make authentic dishes."Karen also sat down and started eating her noodles.Younis took a bite, looked at Karen for a moment, and then took another bite.Puer, who was eating fish, looked up and saw this scene,Silently, it pushed the garlic it had peeled with its paws earlier in front of Younis.

"What are you looking at? Eat your garlic!""Hmm?"Yunis saw the garlic that was pushed in front of her by the cat.Karen reached out and picked up a clove, biting off half of it and chewing while taking a big mouthful of noodles."Ah,"Garlic is always the best companion for noodles."Is this meant to be eaten together?""Yes."Yunis imitated Karen and took a bite, immediately closing her eyes from the spiciness. Without any water nearby, she instinctively used the noodles to suppress the heat."It's really, too spicy."

After a while, Eunice finally recovered and looked at the half garlic left in her hand. She put it into the noodles and wrapped it with the noodles before putting it into her mouth."Hmm, I think I'm starting to like this feeling." "Me too." Karen said to Eunice. On the side, Pu'er suddenly felt that the big pot of fragrant and delicious sour fish in front of him was no longer appetizing. It quietly reached out and grabbed a garlic, taking a bite: "Meow!!!" After finishing the noodles, Eunice insisted on cleaning up the utensils, and Karen agreed. Next, the two of them sat facing each other naturally and chatted.

Mostly it was Eunice talking, while Karen listened and agreed. After all, Karen's expertise was in how to make the other person let down their guard and open up for a pleasant conversation.From their chat, Karen gathered that Eunice's family must be very well-off. She mentioned that she had been injured while riding horses in her backyard as a child. This meant that her family owned a mansion with a stable in York City, the capital of Vayne.She also mentioned that she currently lived on Rhine Street to accompany her mother. She couldn't be bothered to rent a house, so she just bought a place on Rhine Street in the prestigious area of Logia City.When they talked about art, she gave several examples, such as the dressing styles of the princess and queen, as well as the paintings they admired. This meant that she must often see the queen and princess of Vayne, not just from a distance at ceremonies.It's worth noting that, unlike the Rulian royal family who had fallen to the point of endorsing clothing brands, the Vayne royal family still held great political influence.During the conversation, Puer kept hanging his head and watching from the side:"How much longer are you going to talk?""How can you still keep talking?"

Why not have a fun game of poker in the bedroom on the third floor?And,Why not try to create a baby to add to the topic and increase interaction?Sigh,The scent on this lady makes me feel so comfortable. I really want to see your belly grow and give birth to a spiritually rich baby for me to play with.As the sky darkens,Eunice glanced outside and exclaimed:"I'm really sorry, it's already so late. I'm not usually so talkative, I don't know why I can't help but talk to you today."Puerh blinked his eyes: Because you're craving for him!"I'm also happy to chat with you, it's really a pleasant thing."

"Yes, I feel the same way."Younis looked at Karen and took out a pink wallet from her purse:"This is the gift I gave to Mina.""Okay, thank you. I will express my gratitude to Mina on her behalf."Karen placed the pink wallet on the table and accompanied Younis downstairs to see her off in a taxi.Well, it's not that Karen didn't want to drive the woman home, even though they just bought a new car...After watching Younis leave in the taxi,Karen turned and went back to the house, heading upstairs.On the dining table, Puer was playing with the pink wallet with a unique logo.Karen picked up the water on the table, took a sip, and asked:

"What brand is it?"Pu'er raised her head in shock and looked at Karen:"Foreign grandmother's foreign grandmother, foreign grandmother's foreign grandmother...No,Dis,Damn it,It must be intentional, Dis must have planned everything, damn it!""What's wrong with you?""You can't touch her, Karen, absolutely not!I beg you, please, you must not, you must not!"

"Great Evil God,You must not touch her, never!Please stay away from her, forever!!!""Is there something wrong with your brain today?" Karen asked in confusion. "Should I take you to the pet hospital?"Puer pointed to the special mark on the pink wallet in front of him and shouted, "This Miss Eunice... she is my family's descendant!!!"
